| dc.description | The main objective of this study, entitled Insomnia and perceived stress in teachers of the Babahoyo Educational Unit, is to describe how teachers perceive the relationship between these two problems. Insomnia, characterized by difficulty in falling or staying asleep, and perceived stress, defined as the emotional and physiological response to demanding factors, significantly affect the quality of life and work performance of educators. The research adopts a non-experimental, descriptive and qualitative design, which allows the collection of detailed information without manipulating the variables. The sample consisted of 40 teachers selected by means of probability sampling by convenience. The Athens Insomnia Scale and the Perceived Stress Scale, complemented with semi-structured interviews, were used to evaluate the dimensions of sleep and stress in their usual context. The results revealed that workload, academic responsibilities, student disinterest and lack of parental support are determining factors in the development of insomnia and stress, reflecting that more than 77.50% of teachers experience insomnia at moderate or severe levels, while 40% of the sample reported very high levels of stress which is negatively influencing their emotional and physical well-being. In addition, specific perceptions of how these conditions affect their work and personal interactions were identified. The study highlights the need to implement effective coping strategies and intervention programs aimed at reducing insomnia and perceived stress in the teaching environment, thus improving their quality of life and professional performance. This work contributes to the scientific knowledge on mental health in educators, serving as a basis for future research in similar contexts. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | El presente estudio, titulado Insomnio y estrés percibido en docentes de la Unidad Educativa Babahoyo, tiene como objetivo principal describir cómo los docentes perciben la relación entre estas dos problemáticas. El insomnio, caracterizado por la dificultad para conciliar o mantener el sueño, y el estrés percibido, definido como la respuesta emocional y fisiológica a factores demandantes, afectan significativamente la calidad de vida y el desempeño laboral de los educadores. La investigación adopta un diseño no experimental, descriptivo y de enfoque cualitativo, lo que permite recopilar información detallada sin manipular las variables. La muestra estuvo conformada por 40 docentes seleccionados mediante muestreo probabilístico por conveniencia. Se emplearon la Escala Atenas de Insomnio y la Escala de Estrés Percibido, complementadas con entrevistas semi-estructuradas, para evaluar las dimensiones de sueño y estrés en su contexto habitual. Los resultados revelaron que la carga laboral, las responsabilidades académicas, el desinterés estudiantil y la falta de apoyo de los padres son factores determinantes en el desarrollo de insomnio y estrés, reflejando que más del 77.50% de los docentes experimentan insomnio en niveles moderados o severos, mientras que el 40% de la muestra reportó niveles muy altos de estrés lo cual está influyendo negativamente en su bienestar emocional y físico. Además, se identificaron percepciones específicas sobre cómo estas condiciones afectan sus interacciones laborales y personales. El estudio resalta la necesidad de implementar estrategias de afrontamiento efectivas y programas de intervención orientados a reducir el insomnio y el estrés percibido en el entorno docente, mejorando así su calidad de vida y rendimiento profesional. Este trabajo contribuye al conocimiento científico sobre la salud mental en educadores, sirviendo como base para futuras investigaciones en contextos similares. | es_ES |
